Slip Slidin' Away

Hoo-ooh-ooh-ooh-hoo, hoo-ooh-ooh-ooh-hoo
 Slip slidin' away, slip slidin' away
 You know the nearer your destination the more you're slip slidin' away
 I know a man, he came from my hometown
 He wore his passion for his woman like a thorny crown
 He said, "Delores I live in fear
 My love for you so overpowering I'm afraid that I will disappear"
 Slip slidin' away, slip slidin' away
 You know the nearer your destination the more you're slip slidin' away
 "And I know a woman became a wife"
 These are the very words she uses to describe her life
 She said, "A good day ain't got no rain"
 She said, "A bad day's when I lie in bed and think of things that might have been"
 Slip slidin' away, slip slidin' away
 You know the nearer your destination the more you're slip slidin' away
 
 And I know a father who had a son
 He longed to tell him all the reasons for the things he'd done
 He came a long way just to explain
 He kissed his boy as he lay sleeping then he turned around and headed home again
 He's slip slidin', slip slidin' away
 You know the nearer your destination the more you're slip slidin' away
 ♪
 And God only knows, God makes His plan
 The information's unavailable to the mortal man
 We're workin' our jobs, collect our pay
 Believe we're gliding down the highway when in fact we're slip slidin' away
 Slip slidin' away, slip slidin' away
 You know the nearer your destination the more you're slip slidin' away
 Slip slidin' away, slip slidin' away
 You know the nearer your destination the more you're slip slidin' away
